[QUOTE="Balrog, post: 952451, member: 36195"] Quoting the definition of Riskware by [URL='https://blog.malwarebytes.com/detections/riskware/']Malwarebytes[/URL]: "Malwarebytes uses the detection name “Riskware.” to apply to a category of programs or applications that put the user at risk in some way... Programs might be termed as “riskware” because they: Violate the terms of service (ToS) of other software or a user platform. Block another application or software from being updated and patched. Might be illegal to use in the users’ country. Could be used as a backdoor for other malware. Are indicative of the presence of other malware. " I trust Malwarebytes but not Avast. In your place I would delete the app even more if it hasn't been used in months. As a general rule, I eliminate everything that is not essential for my daily use of the phone. [/QUOTE]
